In 1949, General Patten's army was closing in on Berlin. On April 8th, members of the 282nd Combat Engineer Battalion blasted into a mysterious room in Merkers Mine. They discovered gold stacked knee high, personal possessions, suitcases with metal, a Renoir painting, Rafael, Rembrandt, and many more finds.

Olly Seeds takes viewers into the the Merkers Mine where over $500 million dollars worth of art, gold, gold teeth from war victims, and several other archaeological pieces were found. Today, the Nazi hoard would be valued at over $50 billion dollars.

The Video is working. Unbelievable.....50 billion dollars of worth and history. The Nazi's were not just war mongers, but outright thieves and hoarders, something I thought their ideaology despised. Sure glad it was found. Great presentation and interesting piece.
